BUCHANAN -- A Buchanan man committed a massive betrayal of trust when he sexually assaulted a young girl earlier this year, Berrien County Trial Judge Scott Schofield said this week. Joseph Lewis, 46, of Richards Street in Buchanan, will spend 14 months in prison for criminal sexual conduct -- assault with intent to commit penetration -- on June 1 in Buchanan. He was given credit for 89 days already served. Schofield said he objected to Lewis having any type of alternative incarceration and ordered that Lewis get substance-abuse and sex-offender counseling. Lewis also must pay $220 in fines, costs and restitution. "You have committed a massive betrayal of trust on the victim and the victim's father," Schofield told Lewis. "It's your obligation as someone older to look out for those who are younger and more vulnerable. "Instead, you betrayed that trust and took advantage of the situation. For that, you deserve to go to prison. You will be out of prison before she recovers. This is something that will affect her for the rest of her life, with her ability to trust and to have romantic relationships. "I'm sending you to prison because you earned it. I wish I could do more," Schofield said. In comments before the sentencing, the victim's father said the incident has scarred his daughter "in more ways than one, that she will carry with her the rest of her life." The victim's father said his daughter is afraid to go outside. Lewis' attorney, Albert Mais, asked for a lesser sentence since his client suffers from cancer. Lewis himself asked for mercy. In other sentencings this week, a Berrien Springs woman was sentenced to probation and fines and costs for illegal use of a financial transaction device Nov. 17, 2007, in Oronoko Township. Andrea Lynn Palmisano, 40, of Timberland Drive in Berrien Springs, was placed on two years of probation and ordered to pay $4,426.52, including $2,766.52 in restitution, after using others' credit cards. Her attorney, Kevin Banyon, said Palmisano is going through a rough divorce and took the money for survival purposes to support her two children at home and not to defraud anyone. Aaron Howard Rosenhagen, 24, of Ontario Road in Niles, was placed on tether for 90 days and ordered to pay $120 for possession of marijuana on July 2 in Niles Township. Rosenhagen asked to stay out of jail so he can keep his job and take care of his child. "Your relationship with your child is important, staying out of trouble is important and keeping your job is important, but staying out of prison is most important," Schofield said. A Goshen man will have to live with having a felony on his record after being sentenced for second-degree home invasion for a Sept. 15 incident in Bertrand Township. Chandler Wayne Clark, 20, of Goshen, was placed on two years of probation and was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service and pay $2,650 in fines and costs, as well as restitution of up to $2,000 for another incident where the charge was dropped. "Young men do dumb things," Schofield said. "It's important for you to learn from your mistakes and move forward and not repeat your mistakes and not fail the purpose for which you were born. You still have an opportunity for a bright future."
